2009 AUDI A43.0L Diesel

The 2009 Audi A4 presents a roadworthy status as of the 1 December 2025 test at 142,641 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no advisories or failures with mechanical cause across the three years of available history. The owner cleared the car on the same date it initially failed under a no-defect administrative rejection, a pattern repeated on 5 December 2024 at 125,773 miles before a clean pass at 125,779 miles. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 8,391 miles per year for a 17-year-old car. The record runs from 107,701 miles on 16 December 2023 to 125,779 miles in December 2024, then 142,641 miles by December 2025, reflecting steady annual use of roughly 17,000 and 16,800 miles in the last two periods. The data is sparse, with only three test years logged and no intermediate inspections, but the clean sheets imply consistent basic upkeep rather than neglect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm absence of wear below reporting thresholds. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close checking, particularly around sills and subframes where 2009-era Audi models accumulate rust. The twin same-day fail-pass entries suggest clerical or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, yet the drivetrain should be assessed for oil leaks and exhaust emissions under load.
